Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy in Mobile, AL
If you're leaking when you sneeze, cough, or exercise — or living with pelvic pain, pressure, or postpartum symptoms you've been told to just "live with" — pelvic floor physical therapy can help. These problems are common, but they're not inevitable. And they're treatable.
At CBR, our pelvic health team provides individualized, evidence-based care in a private, respectful environment. We work with women and men across the lifespan — from pregnancy and postpartum recovery to menopause, post-surgical rehabilitation, and beyond.
Our pelvic health rehabilitation services are individualized, evidence-based, and grounded in respect and consent. We work with people across the lifespan to address a wide range of pelvic health concerns, always tailoring care to your goals and comfort level.
Do I Need Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy?
You may benefit from pelvic floor PT if you experience:
- Leaking urine when you cough, sneeze, laugh, or exercise
- A sudden, urgent need to reach the bathroom
- Pelvic pressure, heaviness, or a bulging sensation
- Pain during sex, with tampon use, or with prolonged sitting
- Tailbone, hip, or low back pain that hasn't resolved with standard treatment
- Difficulty with bowel emptying or bowel urgency
- Postpartum symptoms — including diastasis recti, pelvic weakness, or leakage
- Recovery from gynecologic, abdominal, or prostate surgery
- Men's Pelvic Health: Men experience pelvic floor dysfunction too — especially after prostate surgery, with urinary urgency or leakage, chronic pelvic or groin pain, or return-to-sport after abdominal injury. Our team is trained to address these conditions in a straightforward, clinical environment.
What Does Pelvic Floor PT Look Like?
Your first visit begins with a thorough evaluation — a conversation about your history, symptoms, and goals. Treatment is always guided by your comfort and consent. Internal assessment is never required and only used when clinically appropriate and fully agreed upon.
Treatment may include:
- Therapeutic exercise and movement retraining
- Manual therapy and myofascial release
- Breath and pressure management training
- Clinical Pilates and Low Pressure Fitness (Hypopressives)
- Education on bladder, bowel, and pelvic health habits
- Internal treatment is never required and is only used when appropriate and with your full consent.
Sessions are one-on-one with your therapist — not handed off to a tech.
